Going Bulgarian for Collegiates!

[Tamara Reynolds]

I am glad you are amusing yourself coming up with new nicknames for me in your log.

Dude, the girls (myself included) need to get their shit together this week. Amy needs to get back in town. You, Brad, and Jordan with the big PRs. Fuck. THIS IS A GIRLS' GYM, DAMNIT!

BTW, Jordan cleaned 300 lbs at 180 lbs bodyweight today. He also went for 3 attempts at a 220 lb snatch. NO PRESSURE, BIG BOY.

Um.

Seriously?

Where is the part that went: "Push pressed 80 kg. Almost destroyed the entire gym in one fell swoop"?!?!?!? HUH?!?!?!?! Also, you can't have a "missed jerk" when you weren't jerking.

[f4thpathway]

Wisconsin Union Press, perhaps?

105x Missed jerk. Didn’t get under it. (Didn’t catch bounce on front squat, but elbows were better.)
105 Jerk went far forward. Was light enough that I could recover it. I don’t necessarily think this would get white lights.

I'm not satisfied with these numbers. Also, I used the Olympic bar for back squats. This was probably not the best choice, but I just wasn't thinking. Also, Jared trained today. He is boss.
